Issue Troubleshooting
Data loss in Toolkit Improper use of the Toolkit utilities and modification of the CONREP data files can
result in loss of critical data. Because of the potential data-loss risk, only experienced
individuals should use the Toolkit utilities. Before using the Toolkit, all necessary
precautions must be taken to ensure that mission-critical systems remain online if a
failure occurs.
Setting up a PXE boot
environment
A basic understanding of DHCP, PXE, and TFTP is required to perform the procedure.
The examples in this guide might not be specific to your operating system environment.
For more information about your particular environment, see the Linux system
administrator's guide
Configuring options
using Toolkit utilities
Not all options can be configured using Toolkit utilities. Some options must be
configured manually or with other configuration utilities, which are available online,
before they can be used with the Toolkit. For more information on configuration, see the
option documentation
Input files for
HPONCFG Because the -w argument does not capture certain types of information, such as the
administrator password, data files created with HPONCFG using the -w argument
cannot be used as input files for HPONCFG, unless they are modified first.
CONREP version
compatibility
The file format for the DOS version of CONREP and the current version of CONREP are
not compatible.
HPACUSCRIPTING
support HPACUSCRIPTING supports only HP Smart Array controllers. Review the
HPACUSCRIPTING documentation for the latest information.
Booting from a USB
drive key
Booting from a USB drive key is supported only on certain ProLiant servers. For more
information, see the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant website
( http://www.hp.com/go/foundation ).
CONREP data file
editor Only the fields that are present in the CONREP file being edited will be shown. The
CONREP data file editor cannot add or remove fields. Some fields, such as the server
OS selection, cannot be edited.
Kernels The kernel is generally static and cannot be modified easily. HP recommends that you
use the kernel that is shipped with the Toolkit because it has been tested on all servers
supported by the Toolkit.
SETBOOTORDER
changes Any changes you make to the SETBOOTORDER will take effect at the next reboot.
